2.4

Paper guide

Note: If you print a job on a special print media, select the correct paper size and

type in your application before printing. See page 2.8.

Printing

Using the manual feeder

If you want to print manually, one piece of media at a time, use this manual paper feeder.

Manual paper feeder

Notes:

• Make sure that you select the Manual Feeder source and the correct paper size

from your software application before starting your print job. See page 2.8.

• When you use the manual paper feeder, the paper must be loaded in the automatic paper feeder to prevent the paper jam which might occur in the manual paper feeder.

Printing

2.5

Paper guidelines

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.

• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a coloured coating that was added after the paper was produced.

• Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printer ’s approximately 392 oF (200 oC) fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

2.6

• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag) should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, and well creased folds.

- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials.

- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Printing

Printer settings

You can use your machine with all your Windows 3.x or Windows 95/98, or Windows NT applications. Be sure to set your printer as the default printer for all your Windows operations.

Most Windows software applications allow you to make changes to the printer settings. This changes the number of copies, sequence of the pages, and paper orientation.

If you click Properties, Setup, or Options in the print dialogue box, you’ll access the printer driver ’s dialogue box. It allows you to change additional printer settings. Settings changed in the software application will usually override settings made in the printer driver.

Your printer driver’s properties dialogue box includes three tabs (four tabs on Windows NT):

• Basic

Functions

If you find that you are not getting correct grays on your printout from an application, turn the Color Document checkbox on.

If performance when rendering complex graphics is either very slow, or yields unsatisfactory output, try toggling this setting.

With each of these checkboxes selected, your printer gives you accurate grays even if it has to dither them. You will get exactly what you ask for. However, small dithered text is difficult to read, and fine dithered lines appear dashed instead of solid. With these options off, your printer maps text and lines to the nearest gray. For black & white output, grays that are darker than about 50% map to black; lighter grays map to white. For color, colors map to the nearest gray.

When an application sends a bitmap fill pattern (also called 'pattern brush') to the printer, the expected, standard size is 8 pixels square. Some applications are able to send larger patterns. If the Large Bitmap Pattern checkbox is selected, you encounter output where your bitmap fills have repeating pattern anomalies in them, try to turn the checkbox off.

Printing

Scale

Your printer has a process that automatically enlarges the bitmap fill patterns so that the output more closely matches the screen. For example, with the default setting '0', patterns that come from a VGA system (96x96 logical pixels per inch) are enlarged three times to (almost) match the 300x300 dpi of a laser printer. If you set the scale to '1', your printer can handle the brush patterns exactly as they come from the application's scaling. You can also force your printer to scale by 2, 3, 4, or more times by entering larger numbers.

Printing

2.9

Menu Option

Functions

TrueType

Adobe Type Manager

If you find a problem with your printer when the document uses typefaces installed in Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software or TrueType, use this feature. If you have both font engines, you could also run into substitution problems. Turning the TrueType checkbox on speeds up handling of TrueType fonts by sending them as text. With this option off, fonts are handled as graphics. This can be useful if you are printing over a network to a server that does not have the same typeface you are using on your workstation PC. Since the data is sent as graphics, you do not run into font substitution problems. If you are printing with characters found in languages like Japanese or Chinese (also called 'double-byte characters'), the TrueType checkbox should be off.

If you find a problem with your printer when the document uses typefaces installed in Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software or TrueType, use this feature. If you have both font engines, you could also run into substitution problems. The Adobe Type Manager checkbox accesses a "back door" to ATM. Turning this option on uses this back door to speed up handling of Type 1 PostScript fonts by handling them as text. With this option turned off, the fonts are handled as graphics.

Editing images

To enlarge or reduce the image displayed

It may be useful when you need to take a closer look at some parts of the image, or see the whole image. Select a proper sub menu from the View menu.

Note: Changing the zoom factoring doesn’t change the image itself; it does only

change the way of view. To change the size of image itself, you should perform resizing or resampling.

Erasing parts of an image

To erase a part of image, choose the tool from the toolbox. You can change the size of the eraser. The erased areas will be replaced with a selected background colour.

Transforming images

The bottom part of the Image menu contains commands used for transforming images. All these commands (except of Resize, Resample, and Crop) work with either a whole image or with a selected region. The

Resize and Resample commands work with the whole image only. The Crop command works only if a region is selected.

Using SmarThru

Rotate: Lets you rotate the image or a selected region.

Flip: Flips the image vertical or horizontal.

Shear: Lets you shear (skew) the image by arbitrary angle.

Crop: Lets you cut a part off trim the image.The contents of the selected

part will replace the whole image.

Resize: Lets you resize the image. It works only with the whole image. Choose new dimensions in the Width and Height fields.

Resample: This function is similar to Resize, but results of the functions slightly differ. While Resize function simply “stretches” pixels when enlarging the image, the Resample function performs some kind of interpolation. This results in more smooth images with anti-aliased colour transitions.

Working with ImageThru

3.15

Changing colour mode

You can change the image’s colour mode using the Color menu. These commands do not work with regions. They are always applied to the whole image. The result of the changes will be immediately shown in the preview area.

Halftone: It makes the image look like simulated grayscales using different combinations of 1-bit black and white pixels. Because this image type is only 1-bit, the file size is smaller than grayscale.

Grayscale: It converts the image into a grayscale mode. All the colour information will be removed from the image, and the image will look black-and-white.

Color Resolution: It changes the colour depth of an image. Colour depth is defined as a number of bits per one pixel of image. The more bits are used to represent one pixel, the more colours you can have in one image. So, when you reduce the colour depth, the number of available colors is reduced too.

Note: You can work with an colour image using Samsung ImageThru (by importing the colour image from an external application), but you cannot scan and print the colour image because your machine is a black and white scanner and printer.

Adjusting image attributes

You can adjust a number of image attributes for an image being edited by using the following submenus from the Color menu.

Brightness: You can make your image look brighter or darker. Contrast: The contrast value defines how sharp or smooth the transition

between areas of different colour will be. The higher the contrast value, the more pronounced are the changes of colour.

Hue: Hue is the wavelength of light reflected from or transmitted through an object. More commonly, hue is identified by the name of colour such as red, orange, or green. Hue is measured as a location on the standard colour wheel and is expressed as a degree between 360oand 0o.

Saturation: Saturation, sometimes called chroma, is the strength or purity of the colour. Saturation represents the amount of gray in proportion to the hue and is measured as a percentage from 0% (gray) to 100% (fully saturated). On the standard colour wheel, saturation increases as one approaches the edge of the wheel; saturation decreases as one approaches the center.

Gamma Correct: You can adjust the intensity of colors in an image by changing the gamma constant that is used to map the intensity values.

Invert: The inverted image is similar to photo film negative; all light areas become dark, dark areas become light, white becomes black, and black becomes white.

Working with ImageThru

3.16

Stretch Intensity: It automatically adjusts the intensity values based on the

Working within a region of an image

Operations can be applied to a region of an image instead of the whole image. Region (also called selection) is an area of image that can be used as target for most operations (with the exception of resizing, rotating and shearing).

Toolbox contains the buttons to work with regions. You can also use the Toolbox menu.

Selects a rectangular region. Click on the image and drag. You will see a marquee rectangle that defines the region.

Selects a freeform region. Click on the image and drag while holding the mouse button. You will see your region contour enclosed into a rectangular marquee. This marquee is used for resizing.

To change the position of region marquee, place the cursor inside the marquee and drag. To change the size, place the cursor onto one of the rectangular marquee handles and drag.

You can cut, copy, and paste regions using the Edit menu.

Working with annotations

In the Edit mode, you can add so-called annotations to the image using the tools in the toolbox or in the Toolbox menu. Annotations are used for adding comments and emphasizing parts of an image.

The annotation objects include the following types;

Lets you select an annotation to move, delete, resize, cut, copy, or paste.

Lets you draw a straight line.

Lets you draw a one-headed or two-headed arrow.

Using SmarThru

Lets you draw a square.

Lets you draw a rectangle.

Lets you draw a rectangle with rounded corners.

Lets you draw an ellipse.

Lets you draw a line consisting of several segments (polyline). Start clicking in the image where you want the polyline vertices to be placed. You can also hold the mouse button and draw a freehand contour. To indicate the last vertex of the polyline, click the right mouse button.

Lets you draw closed contours consisting of several segments (polygon).

Lets you create a frame with text fragments. To change the text, access the text frame properties and enter a new text on the Text tab.

Lets you create a frame with text fragments. The note object slightly differs from the text object; while you can set the size of the text frame, the note frame size is adjusted automatically according to the entered text.

Lets you emphasize parts of the image to bring attention to them. This object doesn’t cover the image content; it changes its hue instead. It is similar to using a text marker on paper.

Each of these objects has a set of properties associated with it. Use Properties from the Edit menu, or just double-click on the annotation. You will see a tabbed window with the annotation properties.

You can find details about creating specific types of annotations in the respective topics of the on-line help.

The annotations are independent objects “floating” above the image. However, you can merge annotations with the image using Apply Annotations command from the Image menu. After that, you won’t be able to edit these annotations.

Applying effects

Effect menu in the Edit mode contains a number of effects that can be

applied to your images. Results of these effects greatly differ - from subtle changes to incredible transformations.

All the effects can be applied to the whole image or to the selected region only. If you want to apply the effect only to a region of an image, select the region before invoking the effects.

Most of effects have several parameters that can be changed. You can see the result of changing parameters in the preview area of the effect window.

It indicates that the application is ready to process your request. You can also select File ➝ Send by ➝ E-

mail or Fax menu to send images by E-mail or fax.

Creating a multipage image

You can create multipage images, i.e. images that contain more than one page. In fact, each page of such an image is a separate image, but making them multipage may help you to apply all the operations that can be applied to several images at once. To create a multipage image, select an image and drag it on the multipage image. You can distinguish multipage images by “page curl” at the lower right corner of image thumbnail.

Note: If you want an operation to be performed with all pages, drag the multipage

nyPageLite

OCR application

This chapter tells briefly about the main features of AnyPage Lite. For more information and the step-by-step instructions, refer to the on-line help.

Using AnyPage Lite

Overview

AnyPage Lite is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system. It transforms a scanned image (a picture) into a text. AnyPage Lite can start if Samsung SmarThru is installed already. Before starting AnyPage Lite, you must install Samsung SmarThu first. See page 1.1.

AnyPage Lite system performs the following operations to recognize a text.

1. Open a scanned image of a document. AnyPage Lite can load image

files with BMP, PCX, DCX, JPG, or TIF extension.

2. Page layout analysis. The system segments and analyses the image and

marks blocks as texts, pictures, and tables on the image.

3. Recognition.

4. Check and edit the recognition results. When the recognition is finished,

you can check the recognized text with a built-in spelling check system, and edit the text if necessary.

5. Save the results. You can save the recognized results to a file, to a

Clipboard, or send it by E-mail or fax using Samsung MailThru or Samsung FaxThru.

Using AnyPage Lite

4.1

To run AnyPage Lite

From the Start menu, select Programs → Samsung SmarThru → AnyPage OCR.

For Windows 3.x, from Program Manager, select Samsung SmarThru → AnyPage OCR.

Tips

Using Samsung ScanThru, you can scan and recognize the document automatically with the help of the AnyPage Lite system. Refer to ‘Scanning for automatic text recognition’ on page 3.8.

If you send an image to OCR button on the programs bar in the ImageThru window, SmarThru system runs AnyPage Lite and loads the image file in the AnyPage Lite window. Click button on the toolbar to open and read the file with the AnyPage Lite system.

Scanning problems

Problem Possible cause and remedy

You cannot scan a document into memory.

The unit scans very slowly.

‘There is no document or the document is loaded improperly. Insert the document properly and try again’ message appears on the screen.

‘Scanner is busy receiving or printing data. When the current job is completed, try again’ message appears on the screen.

• Make sure that you load the document to be scanned into the document tray.

• There may not be enough available memory to store the document you want to scan.

• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

• Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode because

a lot of memory is required to analyse and reproduce the scan image. Set your computer to ECP mode through the BIOS setting. It will help to increase the speed. For details on how to set BIOS, refer to the documentation of your computer.

Insert the document properly and push it down until the machine grips the document.

Your scanner may be currently used for copying or faxing. When the current job is completed, try again.

‘Memory is not enough to save the scan image. Exit all applications if not required, then try again after memory becomes available’ message appears on the screen.

There is not enough memory to save the scan image. Exit all applications currently open, if not required, in order to save memory.
